i hate being sick! it started off with an allergy fit that seemed to last forever and then my sore throat and headaches started.. its getting better but its been a tough few days.. i can hardly talk, eat, or drink thanks to the sore throat.. but carbonated mineral water seems to be helping a bit. i want to avoid taking any medications while pregnant..

tomorrow is the peach festival. i still plan on going so i really hope this cold or whatever it is takes a hike.

i am now at 15weeks along! still can't believe it! i just read this in my pregnancy week by week on babycenter.com..

"You've probably gained about 5 pounds by now (a little more or less is fine, too) and are well into the swing of your pregnancy, but you may still be surprised by an unexpected symptom now and then. If your nose is stuffed up, for instance, you can probably chalk it up to the combined effect of hormonal changes and increased blood flow to your mucous membranes. This condition is so common, there's even a name for it: "rhinitis of pregnancy." Some pregnant women also suffer nosebleeds as a result of increased blood volume and blood vessel expansion in the nose."



interesting and ironic week 15 is the week i started having all these "allergy" issues.. and i can't believe my baby is the size of an apple! woot!
